Bush Administration to Support Nuclear Recycling

Posted by Zonk on Thursday January 26, 2006 @05:50AM from the with-this-and-plastic-we'll-be-set dept.

Ironsides writes "The Washington Post is reporting the the Bush Administration is planning to re-enrich spent nuclear fuel so that it can once again be used in nuclear reactors. Included in the plan is a proposal to take spent fuel from other countries and re-enrich it for use as well as domestic spent fuel. This would be a break with a policy set forth by President Carter in an attempt to discourage nuclear proliferation. Currently $250 Million as been proposed for FY 2007 to start developing the technology."

You forget that the US is a democracy and democracies never start wars, by definition... at least according to the US government.
